Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), if physical activity increased by 25%, more than 1.3 million early deaths could be avoided each year worldwide. A sedentary lifestyle is the fourth most important risk factor for early mortality from all causes.
Physical activity is good for the mind and body. The benefits go far beyond keeping or losing weight. Reduced risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression are some of the health benefits of regular physical activity.
This Special Issue seeks to address healthier lifestyles, with an emphasis on physical exercise related to main heart, lung, and metabolic diseases, as well as its relationship with the social determinants of health and government policies.
Researchers are invited to contribute novel work for publication in this Special Issue. The submissions can include original articles and critical reviews, such as systematic reviews or meta-analyses. There are no restrictions on study design or methodology (i.e., secondary analyses, cross-sectional or longitudinal designs, intervention studies, or observational studies).
